What happens next CCJ?

hendryclan

I have just been to Taunton County court regarding a claim I put in for a holiday cottage that was disgusting. I have been awarded my claim for all my money plus costs back. The defendant didnt turn up in court. What happens now. The judge did say that he had 14 days to pay. Do the courts get in touch with him and tell him to pay? Does he send the money to me? As I have never had anything like this before not sure of the procedure. Could anyone advise me the next step.
Thanks.

Getting the judgement is only the first step in what could be a long process to see any cash - start by reading through the options here...

The holiday company will have been informed of the judgment. They will be told to pay you and be given your name and address for payment. Don't start any enforcement proceedings until the 14 day limit has passed.

You could write a simple letter saying "As you know, Taunton County Court has awarded judgment in my favour. In accordance with that judgment, please make payment to me and send it to .... <address>.

Then wait
